What Could Irregular And Painful Cramps During Pregnancy Suggest?
i m 40 weeks pregnant today and have been experiencing irregular period-like cramps for the last 15 hours that last 20-30 secs and the peak of the pain is v. strong. GP said today that his head is engaged. What can I do to relieve this pain and does this mean he is coming soon, or is it the same as a false labour pain like braxton hicks (this subsided 4 days ago). thanks in advance
Hi Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic. I have gone through your query. I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options. 1]As per your description, it appears to be early labour pains. 2] If you start red discharge or breaking of water please report to your delivery center. 3] Braxton Hicks contractions do not cause pain or do not increase in frequency and severity. 4] I think you are landing in true labor. Wish you a healthy delivery. May god bless you with bundle of joy.
I hope my answer helps you. Thanks. Wish you good health.
